7 years for $189 mil, front load it, mutual option for 8th year, a bonus if he retires with the club, name the gate on the first base side after him, commission a statue with that sweet ass swing, give Charlie his own locker and call it a day.
Translation: We know we aren't as good of a team as ATL, but last yr we lucked into beating you b/c we got hot while y'all were cold, so we will just hope that happens again. That's all we've got right now b/c you just partied on our field after running away with the division
Driving through SC and saw a dude in McDonald's with a braves hat. I looked him in the eye and said
"We ARE those motherfuckers!"
He was STARTLED. Sometimes I forget not all braves fans are built like Braves Twitter.
Austin Riley began the year considered questionable as 1st string with the Braves and ended the year as the first string All-MLB. Whether you believed in him or not, he exceeded EVERYONE's expectations. (only possible exception is
@RileysRakes
)
I think it's time a certain somebody loses their press pass to come into the Braves dugout. Whether he reported on conversations between players (not on the record with press) made it up (probably), or whatever. It is clear his role was not to do journalism but to stir crap up.
Jose Altuve interrupting ARod: yeah but it's Charlie Morton"
But some guy on Twitter will try to convince you he's the most arrogant player in the league
Some personal news:
On Friday, I am marrying the love of my life. We'll be heading on our honeymoon right after, so I'll look forward to catching up with all of you later this month!
Do you guys think the Braves will try to use Huascar Ynoa out of the bullpen? If he has all of his velocity back after TJ surgery, considering he was pretty much a 2 pitch pitcher anyway, I’d love to see what he could do out of the pen.
This breaks my heart a little...
"Did Wright view [the trade] as the Braves giving up on him?
'That’s exactly how I’m going to take it,” [Wright] said. “I’m not saying that’s what they did, but I’m going to use that to my advantage..."
Kyle Wright was as shocked as you about the trade. He felt a lot of emotions.
Of the reasoning Alex Anthopoulos gave for trading him, Wright said: “Pretty much that he had a number that he was given from up top, and that’s what he had to work with.”
For anyone who was wondering, former

Braves Country will always have that time Panda was brilliant for a minute and it ended up being essential for us to get to the crown. Panda, we'll always love you.

One of my favorite games from an 88-win season, and I got to be there for it.
The Braves overcame deficits of 3-1, 4-3, and 7-4 before Edrianza finally walked us off in the 12th, but this from Panda down to our last strike is what I always think of from that night.
Dear Will Smith,
Thank you for 21 postseason
Thank you for your passion
Thank you for being part of the best bullpen around
I'm sorry the wheels fell off the wagon. It prob got old for you too
I'm glad you get a new chance
I hope you don't take Soto so srsly
Peace
I miss the days when 6:45pm meant it was time to make sure your food, beverages, and snacks were squared away because it was almost game time and it was unwise to sleep in Acuña's first AB.
I bet the Freddie Freeman thing is resolved. One way or another. We just need the lockout to end to know if he's a Brave or not. It's basically Schrodinger's cat, but instead it's an all star first baseman.

"The season is not over, but right now, this team is figuring out ways to lose every day, and at some point, if they don't turn it around rather soon, then changes start to be made."
Gary, Keith, and Ron after the Mets' sweep in Atlanta:
To suggest minor league ball players should not get paid is pretty heinous. This is especially true because they are paid a criminally low amount to begin with.
My mom died on this day in 1996.
I was 22. I was living in LA at the time and was woke early on a Saturday morning to the news. Dad said "We lost your mom." The news did not compute and for a half a.second I wondered, how do you lose a mom? Have you checked all the places?

This is like the ass-chewing Kranny gave Strider to light a fire under his ass near the beginning of the year, but in reverse. Strider has that dog in him.
I am so honored and thankful to receive the Heart and Hustle award. This means a lot to me. I thank God every day to be able to play the game I love at a professional level. I will always give it all I got.

Watched the division clincher highlights tonight against the Phillies. Remember that game? I had forgotten a lot. Soler hit a leadoff homerun. Max settled down after a rough start to pitch a gem.
We won 5-3. It felt like a huge moment.
We hadn't seen nothin' yet.
Some Braves fans revealing themselves to be not worth a follow rn. You do you, but I don't need some of that sky is falling bull crap on my TL. Sometimes you have a rotten series and the Marlins were certainly due. Also, they are actually a pretty good team.
My son's jersey number in Fall baseball is number 3.
J: Dad, has there ever been a baseball player, a Braves player with the number 3?
Me: I'm so glad you asked...
